ICT Weekly Arena excites Nigeria airwave, ready for partnership

A 30 minutes magazine
programme, ICT Weekly Arena, designed to create publicity, understanding and
growth for the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector has hit
the air waves of Metro 97.7 FM and Radio One 103.5 FM on Tuesday 3.30 pm and
Friday 1.05 pm respectively, reports ITRealms.

Executive Producer of
the programme is Echika Ezuka, prolific columnist, veteran broadcaster, member
of the Nigeria Computer Society and pioneer Corporate Communications Adviser of
the Zinox Group, told ITRealms that the programme is a product of decades of
active participation in research and communications by patriots keen on
addressing the under achievement in the sector.

He also said, the ICT Weekly
Arena would sharpen the narrative in respect of revealing the enlightened
enthusiasm of the indigenous enterprise often undermined by policy somersaults
in government. The programme would attempt to define a standard approach to the
challenges of globalization while highlighting the gains and losses of
collaboration.

The programme, Ezuka
pointed out is painstakingly pre-recorded and broken into segments that capture
the publicity and development needs of the ICT sector.

“Opening with a quote
from an ICT icon, each programme starts with a segment on global and local
news, highlights ICT trends, provides insight into SME development, unveils the
Product of the Week, thumbs up for outstanding innovations and condemns
cybercrime in a comic segment,” he said.

Produced with the most
exciting content on radio-magazine today, Ezuka said, the ICT Weekly Arena
provides a credible platform to advance the corporate objectives of individual
players in the ICT sector.

He emphasized that the
fast pace of presentation led by Moses Humphrey and Valerie Aligbe and the
electrifying tone of production are designed to reflect the energy and
potentials of the ICT sector while delighting sponsors.

In addition, ICT Weekly
Arena, he said, has continued to receive the attention of ICT stakeholders and
the Nigerian corporate to establish partnerships designed to sustain the ICT
Weekly Arena innovation.

Yudala has fully
branded the Trends segment while high flying organizations like Coscharis
Technologies, Slot, Bank of Industries, Fidelity Bank and top telecommunication
companies are considering partnership approaches that will serve their
corporate interests.

Ezuka assured that the
programme has come at an opportune time in the history of Nigeria when all
sectors of the economy must embrace the clarion call for change.

He said that the ICT
Weekly Arena would join forces with NITRA and other stake holders to create the
enabling environment for the ICT sector to contribute meaningfully to President
Muhammadu Buhari’s search for alternate sources of revenue for Nigeria.

Further, Mr. Ezuka said
that the media must set a sustainable agenda for the governments and
practitioners to hasten the attainment of Nigeria’s manifest ICT destiny – a
Nigeria that is exporting hardware and software to not just Africa but to the
rest of the world.

The ICT Weekly Arena,
Echika Ezuka said, would encourage the governments of Nigeria to invest heavily
under a protectionist policy towards the attainment of the still relevant
vision 20-2020.
